Yes a TT mounted on a wallshelf is the best likely way of isolating your TT. I would say if you cannot mount it on a wall because of construction or esthetic reasons than try an ikea lack table they are light ridget while warding off unwanted vibration because of there light composite wood structure,Walmart and Target sell such a table to under another name.
Best location setup of turntable
I have a pair of Tyler Taylo 7U speakers, Thorens TD145MKii, ClearAudio Microbasic phono preamp, and 55W Chinese built tube amp.
What would be a good (or best) location of the turntable?
Currently it is sitting on the bare wood floor in between an audio rack and the right speaker in my living room (20x25). The distance to the rack is about 3" and to the right speaker is about 10".
I tried to sit the turntable on top of the audio rack, but the vibration is much worse than just let it sitting on the bare floor. I tried to put the turntable on top of a sandbag, but it did not help much to reduce the rambling/distortion (or whatever you call) when the volume goes of 12 o'clock.
Any suggestion?
Would isolator help? What kind isolator would be good (Well under $100)?
Thanks for your opinion in advance.
